Blac Chyna’s assistant dies after being taken off life support following months-long coma

The longtime assistant to reality star Blac Chyna has died after her family decided to take her off life support.

Lorena "Patty" Hernandez suffered a brain hemorrhage in December at Blac Chyna's salon and was declared brain dead by doctors on Monday, which led her family to make the decision to take her off life support on Wednesday, The Blast reports.

At the time of the hemorrhage, Hernandez was rushed to a hospital where she later fell into a coma. She continued to work despite doctor's orders following a stroke in July in order to support her three children, according to the GoFundMe page created by her family.

"Patty is a loving and dedicated mother of three children (Nathan 13, Raul 12 and Madison 7) and just as loving and dedicated to the rest of her family," the GoFundMe page story reads.
